Name

Eddings, David

Description

David Eddings, best known for his Belgariad series, writes firmly in the tradition of epic sword-and-sorcery fantasy. In many ways he is an heir to J.R.R. Tolkien, though his books are lighter in tone; comic relief comes from the quirks of the characters and their snappy dialogue. In his various series, Eddings dependably delivers the conventions of the quest genre, with enchanted objects, detailed world-building, and battles between good and evil. Start with: Pawn of Prophecy
